Greetings, everyone!
I am Cellular Automaton. I stole the term from Stephen Wolfram's book "A New Kind of Science", which I'm currently reading. Just free association, no bigger meaning, although I'm sure I could come up with one up if I had to. 
I've always been in denial about the extent to which I'm different from everyone around me. In fact, I managed to study psychology for a couple of years without realizing I fit the Aspie profile! 
I've always preferred just playing the genius card without making the connection with my less than average social and motor skills. Today, having not reached many of my goals, I can't afford such arrogance anymore.
Asperger's gave me this wonderful brain I can feed broad arrays of art, science and literature. But the price is oh so high: depression, insanity, substance abuse, self-destructive behavior, social isolation, sexual problems, ... And I still feel guilty about all the mistakes I have made in my life and how many people I have hurt, because I did not acknowledge our fundamental differences. It will take a while before I can start loving myself again. Are you people willing to help me with that?
